The vertical ionization potentials of the β- and γ-methyl substituted allyl radicals as measured by electron impact are 8.03 ± 0.05 v. and 7.71 ± 0.05 v, respectively. From appearance potential data the following bond dissociation energies can be derived, assuming the dissociation processes to be free from complications:[Formula: see text]With assumptions about the structure of the ions produced by electron impact from the corresponding butenes the dissociation energies of the C4H7—H bonds in these latter compounds can be estimated, and the heats of formation of the corresponding radicals derived, namely:[Formula: see text]From data on the allyl halides we evaluate the heat of formation of the allyl radical to be:[Formula: see text]

The ionization potentials of ethyl, isopropyl, and propargyl radicals have been measured by electron impact on radicals produced by thermal decomposition of appropriate compounds. The values are:ethyl 8.78±0.05 ev., isopropyl 7.90±0.05 ev., and propargyl 8.25±0.08 ev. From the appearance potentials of these ions in various compounds, the following values of bond dissociation energies were obtained:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] assuming no kinetic energy of the products.

The analytical technique proposed by MORRISON 1 has been tested on ionization efficiency curves obtained using an unmodified mass spectrometer. Ionization potentials of a series of aromatic amines have been found by this method and have been used to determine the best parameters for use in calculations by the STREITWIESER ω-technique.

C60was shown to react with organosilanes Me4Si, Ph2SiH2, Ph2MeSiH, Ph4Si, andα-naphthylphenylmethylsilane in the electron ionization ion source of a mass spectrometer with the transfer of the corresponding organic radicals (Me, Ph, andα-naphthyl) from the silanes to the fullerene. The reactions were accompanied by hydrogen addition to some products and hydrogen loss from them. C70reacted with Me4Si analogously. A reaction mechanism involving homolytic dissociation of the silanes under electron impact to the corresponding organic radicals, which react further with C60at the surface of the ionization chamber of the mass spectrometer to give the respective adducts, was offered. A mechanistic study of the reaction of C60with Me4Si supported it. No silicon containing derivatives of the fullerenes were found. C60reacted with Ph4Si in solution under UV irradiation in a similar fashion furnishing phenyl derivatives of the fullerene. These results provide an additional support to the hypothesis formulated earlier thatthe homolytic reactive mass spectrometry of fullerenes (the reactions of fullerenes with other species in the ionization chambers of mass spectrometers and their mass spectral monitoring)can predict the reactivity of them toward the same reagents in solution to a significant extent.
